Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 3 cups Fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup Sundried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference
  • 1 pound Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Can substitute with chicken thighs

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  4. Add the sundried tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, which should take just a few minutes.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings, continuing to mix until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the cooked fettuccine and chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles and chicken are well-coated in that delicious sauce.
  7. Finish off with salt and pepper. Serve warm and enjoy!
